We have all probably been there. Sitting on your living room floor surrounded by everything that needs to be done. Life tends to have everything due at the same time. Then you, the emotionally exhausted one, has to pull their life together in a caffeine fueled rage night and during, you stop caring about personal health, and just get everything done. But how can you avoid being put in that situation?

1. Organization

I can't stress this one the most. Organization looks different person to person. But in general you should have due dates, and to do lists somewhere that you look at often. Now sometimes life just makes that difficult and then you just have to persevere and get through it.

2. Make a brief to-do list

Make it as brief as possible, it looks like you have less to do if you just write "clean" rather than separating every task, "Cleaning living room, laundry, dished, bedroom, ect.". This may seem like a small change but as someone who is already stressing and depressed, this little change makes it easier to do this list.

3. Start by importance or due date

This is pretty self explanatory. If someone thing is very important and is due sooner, direct your attention to those things that need to get done first. Once you get started it is easier, that first 15 minutes are the hardest. remember that, and set an alarm, set it for 20 minutes. And tell yourself that you will work until it goes off. You would probably be surprised how much you can get done in 20 minutes and how once you get going it will be easier to keep going.

4. When it's too hard to start

There is nothing wrong with take some time for you. This is something that will keep you mentally stronger than others. This can include anything from taking a walk to sitting on your couch and do nothing for a bit. The one biggest thing to keep in mind, don't allow personal time turn into procrastination. It is super easy to let that happen, and hours later you realize that you still have not gotten anything. Which will add to you stress.

5. Know your limits or hitting your wall

Understand when you are done. My family has always called it "hitting the wall". It is the point where being awake will do no more good than going down to sleep. This can be resolved through taking a nap or getting totally out of what you are doing and taking a break. This feeling is hard to push through but it is possible. And if you get used to pushing through fatigue, each time you do it, it will become easier.

Although being overwhelmed is one of the worst feelings, it can be pushed through. It is one of the things that will tell you more about yourself than anything else. You see your inner strength, and how well you can push through being tired. These skills are not only important to know in college but also in your adult life. But don't forget to include your mental health into your scheduling. "You" should always be your top priority.

The Truth About Dating A Girl With An Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety: A nervous disorder characterized by a state of excessive uneasiness and apprehension, typically with compulsive behavior or panic attacks.

The definition makes it sound really daunting. Truthfully, there is no one way to describe generalized anxiety disorder if you have it. It is hard to live with, hard to cope with and unfortunately, really hard to date with.

Girls with anxiety are different than the average girl when it comes to relationships. That's just an honest statement, no matter how much it hurts me to say it.

We need the constant reminder that you love us, even though we know in our hearts that you do. We panic when you don't answer your phone, in fear that we did something wrong. We care about your feelings when you say that we don't need to worry and we need to be a little calmer. But it's so damn hard.

It isn't easy to love someone who worries about everything 24/7. Half the time, we know we shouldn't be doing the things we do. We know we shouldn't blow up your phone or ask just one more time if you are mad at us. But we can't help it. It says it right in the definition: compulsive behavior due to excessive uneasiness.

Being with a girl with anxiety is probably downright exhausting. It's exhausting for us to have our minds constantly running and worrying. But I promise it's worth it.

We come to you with everything because you are the one person who always knows how to make us feel better. When we are happy, you are the one person we want to be happy with. We all know the constant reassurance, reminders and the same old arguments get old. It gets old to us too.

There was never a time I wanted to have a panic attack because my boyfriend wasn't answering his phone. In my head, I knew where he was because he was usually in the same three places. I knew he wasn't mad at me because I didn't do anything to make him upset. I knew how busy he was with his classes and he was probably studying and I needed to give him space. But the little voice in my head always argued, "What if you did something wrong? What if he's ignoring you because he's angry? What if he's seen your messages and calls, but no longer wants to be with you?" And then I give in. I call, I text, I cry, I panic. Only to feel even worse 10, 30 or 50 minutes later because you answer angrily, telling me what I already knew after I did what I knew I shouldn't have done.

Having anxiety is almost like having a drug addiction. You know all the things that trigger you. You know all the ways to stay away from the bad places in your mind so you don't end up relapsing. But you do anyway and it hurts worse every single time.

Dating a girl with anxiety is as hard as it gets, but she will love you like no other. She is so incredibly thankful for all the things you put up with to be with her. Because she is worried about being loved, she goes the extra mile to always remind you how much you are loved. She always asks if you are ok because she cares about the answer and knows what it's like not to be ok.

The truth is that dating anybody with anxiety is difficult, but it isn't impossible. You get back everything you put in, even though you may not realize it. Trust me, she is sorry for being the annoying, crying, worried, naggy mess and it embarrasses her because she knows better and she wants to be better for you. But please love her. Hold her, understand her, listen to her, calm her, be there for her. In your heart, you know she would turn around and do all the same things for you in a heartbeat.

Internet outraged at Delhi Aunty for Sl*t Shaming

When the topic of sexual violence against women arises, women are often held responsible - because of how they dress, or how they behave, or even if they have a voice. A recent incident in Delhi showed that the mindset of people has not changed. In a video posted by Shivani Gupta, a middle-aged woman is seen defending her claim, "Women wearing short dresses deserve to be raped."

This backward mentality surrounding rape and rape culture is horrifying to see. The middle-aged woman first shamed them for wearing short clothes and when she was confronted, she told them "they deserved to get raped." She made things worse when she told other men in the restaurant to rape such women who wear short clothes.

Shivani and her friends later confronted this woman while taking the video. They wanted a public apology for her statement and followed her around. The older woman stood by her statement. Fair enough. They felt threatened by her statements and wanted an apology for her actions. The older lady, however, was brazen about her ideologies and refused to apologize. In fact, she threatened to call the cops for harassment.

The woman who made the regressive statements. Shivani Gupta

While the anger and outrage by the women who uploaded this video are justified, several questions are being raised on whether the older woman was later harassed for her statements. Public shaming is not the way to solve this issue.

Now, I believe that nobody must engage in victim shaming. Nobody has the right to police the outfit one wishes to wear. It is astonishing to believe that even in the 21st century, people still believe that an outfit determines the morality and character of a person. That older woman was wrong to sl*t-shame the girls for wearing what they want. That being said, even though what that woman did was horrible, public shaming will not work. It will not change the mindset behind these ideologies. What that older woman did was akin to bullying. Publicly shaming her, stalking her facebook account or posting comments or by coercing her, you are also behaving in the same manner of bullying.
